The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 557: Primitive Ghost Patterns!

What does a 7.5-fold enhancement in physique mean?

Wang Chun demonstrated with sheer strength that he could have easily crushed Wen Lao's skull!

Wen Lao touched his bleeding head, his expression twisted, and he stared at Wang Chun. "You hid your strength?"

No one knew the shock within Wen Lao's heart. He had thought that with his power, he could easily dominate this Small Galaxy first-tier junior. However, in no time at all, his own head had been smashed, and if it weren't for the formidable physique of the Ghost Clan, that blow might have finished him for good.

Wang Chun didn't give Wen Lao a chance to recover. His body shot forward like a shell, and the two of them engaged in another fierce battle, wreaking havoc on the surrounding terrain.

The battle between two Small Galaxy-level powerhouses had caused geological disturbances in the area. Rocks from above continuously fell, crushing many Ghost Clan members, and cracks appeared underfoot. Some careless Ghost Clan members fell into these fissures and disappeared.

Small Galaxy-level powerhouses were capable of destroying an entire planet, given enough time. Just the thought of beings of this caliber who could traverse the cosmos with their physical bodies indicated their extraordinary nature. Even Yan Yun Star would be powerless to withstand the battle between two Small Galaxy-level powerhouses.

Wang Chun paid no heed to his surroundings, but Wen Lao couldn't afford to do the same; he was the guardian here.

"You damn youngling, I'll make you pay!" Wen Lao, seeing the chaos around him, looked both mournful and furious. He, too, possessed Burst cultivation, but his method of Burst cultivation seemed different from Wang Chun's.

Ghost Patterns covered his entire body, emitting a faint glow. Then, dark shadows emerged from the Ghost Patterns, shrouding his entire body.

Before long, a fully armored Wen Lao appeared. Astonishingly, he had solidified the Ghost Patterns!

Wang Chun raised an eyebrow; only one in a million Ghost Clan members possessed this ability, and it was clear that Wen Lao was one of them.

If that were the extent of it, it wouldn't be too surprising. However, after donning his armor, Wen Lao underwent another transformation. Wang Chun witnessed it; there was a low, tearing sound from Wen Lao's back, as if something was ripping through his flesh. To Wang Chun's astonishment, it was two hands!

Wen Lao had turned into a Ghost Clan with four hands!

Wang Chun wasn't the only one shocked; the surrounding Ghost Clan members were equally horrified. They had seen strange Ghost Clan members without Ghost Patterns, but they had never seen a Ghost Clan with four hands before. Was this even still a Ghost Clan?

Wen Lao looked pleased with himself. "Youngster, you've forced me to unleash the power of the primitive Ghost Patterns. You won't die in vain."

"Primitive Ghost Patterns?" Wang Chun's heart skipped a beat; just hearing that name made him realize it was something extraordinary. He had no idea that there were even more ancient Ghost Patterns.

Just as Wang Chun was about to seek more information, Wen Lao gave him no chance and charged at him directly.

Wang Chun might not have known, but Su Chen, who was using Wang Chun's eyes, could ask someone. After all, Su Chen's subordinate was the ancestor of the Ghost Clan.

"Taru, how's your recent research on Ghost Patterns going?"

"Commander, I've made significant progress in my research on Ghost Patterns. In general, it seems we're getting closer. After all, Ghost Patterns are a unique virus that uses Ghost Clan as its host, and nothing can escape the Ghost Clan's body. Researching it isn't too difficult."

Listening to what a true expert had to say, that's the difference!

If Yun Ru heard this, she would probably turn red with anger. What she considered very difficult regarding Ghost Patterns was apparently straightforward for Taru.

Su Chen understood that Yun Ru was human, unlike Taru, who was the ancestor of the Ghost Clan. There were limitations, and Taru herself was a prodigy, with research capabilities possibly on par with Yun Ru's, which explained the situation.

"So, tell me, what are Primitive Ghost Patterns?" Su Chen asked with great interest.

"Primitive Ghost Patterns? Oh, it's probably the first generation of Ghost Patterns, right? Ghost Patterns Virus has evolved over such a long time and has passed through countless generations. In general, viruses become stronger as they evolve, but there's one exception: the first generation of Ghost Patterns Virus."

"Because they are the first generation, their compatibility is remarkably strong, allowing for various forms of alteration. For example, if someone stimulates the first generation Ghost Patterns Virus, it can undergo a metamorphosis, potentially resulting in new abilities or physiological changes..."

Listening to Taru's knowledgeable discourse, Su Chen couldn't help but marvel. True experts were something else; even what the Ghost Clan hadn't completely understood was nothing to him.

Su Chen suddenly understood what was happening with Wen Lao. It was indeed the first generation Ghost Patterns Virus at work.

But a question arose: given the current state of the Ghost Clan, how could they possess the original Ghost Patterns? It seemed impossible. After all, the original Ghost Patterns should only exist in the era when the Ghost Patterns first appeared. With countless years having passed, the Virus had evolved through countless generations, making it nearly impossible for the original Ghost Patterns to survive.

Suddenly, a thought crossed Su Chen's mind. Could it be that Wen Lao's ancestor was the brilliant Ghost Clan member who had created the Ghost Patterns in the first place?

As Su Chen contemplated the possibility, the battle between Wang Chun and Wen Lao had escalated to a white-hot intensity. The surrounding Ghost Clan members dared not approach, as the energy fluctuations there could instantly kill a Seventh Order Ghost Clan member. Even Eighth Order Ghost Clan members would be injured if they got too close. In the center of the battlefield, no Ghost Clan dared to approach, and they couldn't see what was happening inside.

"Why is this Ghost Clan called Wang Chun so strong? How can he hold his own against Wen Lao?"

"Who knows? All we've been told is that Wang Chun betrayed the Ghost Clan. As for the specifics of what he did, no one knows!"

They were not very clear about what Wang Chun had done. Most of them felt that it was a waste to see such a powerful Ghost Clan member betraying the Ghost Clan. With his strength, he could have easily become a Ghost Emperor.

Crash!

Just as they were thinking along these lines, the battle suddenly came to a halt. Wang Chun had numerous wounds on his body, covered in blood, appearing quite miserable. However, on the other side, Wen Lao was no better off. One of his hands was completely severed, his armor was full of gaps, and he had just as many wounds as Wang Chun.

They had fought to a standstill!

Wen Lao was both shocked and furious. With his Small Galaxy Third Order strength, he could unleash his full power, and even reach the Small Galaxy Third-order Peak! With his strength, there was no way he shouldn't have been able to defeat this young Ghost Clan member before him. How was this possible?

Wang Chun had a satisfied smile on his face. For the first time, he realized his true combat strength, which had actually reached the level of Small Galaxy Third Order, something he couldn't have imagined before.

"Wen Lao, considering your position as one of the elder Ghost Clan members, I can spare you this time. If I'm not mistaken, your remaining lifespan is rather short," Wang Chun said with a confident expression.

Wen Lao remained silent, but his gloomy expression seemed to confirm Wang Chun's words.

After a while, Wen Lao spoke, "What do you want, in the end?" (To be continued...)
